If you’re looking for a gym that feels like home, look no further! This place has an incredible vibe that makes every visit enjoyable. It’s not just a workout space; it’s a community. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it easy for everyone – especially families – to feel comfortable here. As a parent, I appreciate how family-oriented this gym is. My daughter and I train together, which has not only strengthened our bond, but has also made fitness fun for both of us. The supportive environment encourages us to push ourselves while enjoying each other's company. What truly sets this gym apart is its commitment to veterans and first responders. Their respect for those who serve our country and communities is palpable. The staff goes above and beyond to create a friendly atmosphere for these individuals, offering special programs and support that recognize their sacrifices. Overall, I can’t recommend this gym enough. My daughter and I have found a place we love, and we wouldn't dream of going anywhere else.

BEST GYM IN YORK! Environment is always positive, fun and clean. My kid trains here and always begs me to take her to class. She’s made a lot of friends and loves training with her coaches. The coaches are dads themselves and have a great way of reaching the kids and are understanding of how best to teach them. They make classes fun but also train them HARD! from the fundamentals to more advantage training they got it here. Love the fact that my daughter will be able to defend herself when she needs to.

Brian Mckee

Purple Belt - 2 Stripes

Owner/Head Kids Instructor

With over 25 years of experience in special education, specializing in behavior and crisis management, Brian prides himself on his ability to communicate effectively and teach efficiently. He understands that not everyone learns at the same pace or in the same way, and he tailors his teaching methods to the student’s learning style.

A great admirer of both the sporting and self-defense aspects of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), he believes in teaching both to his students. He understands that there are multiple reasons to practice the art; whether students want to feel confident defending themselves, compete in tournaments, get in shape, or simply look for something fun to do, Brian firmly believes that BJJ offers something for everyone, regardless of ability, age, or fitness level.

Currently a purple belt, Brian obsesses over the endless possibilities that BJJ offers every practitioner. He loves that there is no single way of doing things, and you can find an approach suited to your style. He delights in helping students build their confidence and eventually discover and unlock their style. BJJ is constantly evolving, changing, and growing, and Brian encourages every student he works with to do the same.

As a veteran tournament coach, Brian has over 20 tournaments under his belt, cornering multiple students to numerous wins in both gi and no-gi divisions.

When he’s not on the mats or working his day job, he’s usually at home enjoying time with his wife, children, and dog, or occasionally indulging in his video-gaming vice.
